China LX918 Marine Limit Switch - Reliable Suppliers & Factory for AC/DC Voltage Applications

The LX918 series limit switches are designed for use in circuits operating at AC 50-60Hz with voltage ratings up to 500V and DC voltage up to 440V. These switches effectively limit the travel of various mechanisms and are ideal for direct application as limit switches for 5.5kw three-phase squirrel cage asynchronous motors. A key feature is the ability to cut off the main source with two-phase fire, ensuring optimal motor protection. As a leading factory and supplier in China, we ensure that the LX918 series meets the highest quality standards for reliable operation in diverse applications

    Advantage

    All products of the company can be customized for production according to user usage scenarios.

    Structure and Working Principle

    The shell of the limit switch is made of cast iron, which has good mechanical strength and good corrosion resistance. The performance of the material will not deteriorate under the environmental conditions of marine ships. The shell type is protective, and the protection level can reach IP67. Due to the action of the spring, it can automatically reset. Operating position: 5°→0°-45° The opening and closing of the limit switch contacts are determined by the cam position.
    The agreed heating current of the limit switch is 16A; the rated insulation voltage is 500V; the rated working voltage (Uc) and the rated working current (le) correspond to the technical data.
    The rated working voltage of the DC controlled 5.5Kw three-phase squirrel cage asynchronous motor is below 440V and the rated working current is 12A.

    Overall and Installation Dimensions

    A contact group (2) is installed in the travel switch housing, and the moving contact and the stationary contact thereof drive the cam on the switch shaft (4) to open and close the contacts as the operating arm (3) rotates. The positioning of the operating arm is achieved by means of a positioning member (5), a positioning spring (6), a positioning lever (7) and a roller (8).
